Suplay ng asukal sa Pinas posibleng maubos sa Agosto

MANILA, Philippines — Kung sakaling ipagbawal ng pamahalaan ang importasyon ng asukal ay  posibleng magkulang ang suplay sa bansa sa Agosto.

Ito ang sinabi ng Sugar Regulatory Administra­tion (SRA) dahil isa lamang sa 13 refine­ries ang operational dahil kara­mihan sa kanila ay tumigil na sa produksyon noong Mayo.

“If we rely on our local production alone and do not allow importation, by August, we won’t have enough sugar and we won’t have any carryover stocks for our needs in the coming months until production builds up,” pahayag ng SRA.

“Refineries also start later than the raw mills since refineries need to wait for raw sugar stock to build up before they can start refining,” giit pa nito.

Aabot ang carry-over stock para sa refined sugar ng bansa, ayon sa SRA, sa 144,000 metric tons.

“Our estimated re­fined­ sugar production is 771,000 metric tons giving us a total refined sugar stock balance of 915.000 metric tons,” patuloy nito.

Subalit, ang estimated demand ng bansa para sa refined sugar ay 943,000 metric tons, na may ave­rage monthly demand na 83,000 metric tons.
